History Revisited: The Great Battles: Eminent Historians Take On the Great Works of Alternative History
Combining short fiction with speculative history, this entertaining book invites listeners to look at what didn't happen to gain a richer understanding of what did. What if Napoleon had become emperor of the United States? Could one faulty screw have altered America's atomic-bomb policy? If Lincoln had been assassinated during the Gettysburg Address, would the Confederate States have remained a separate country?
Commentary from leading historians following each story is as fascinating as the stories themselves...

Here’s what happened on the last Who Do You Think You Are?®
Chris O’Donnell searches for his father’s lineage — and finds a history of courage, patriotism and devotion to family that’s generations strong.
Actor Chris O’Donnell sees Who Do You Think You Are? as a chance to both honor and learn about his beloved late father, William O’Donnell, “the quintessential family man,” and his side of the family. He turns to his niece Tory, an amateur genealogist, to get started.
Chris’ grandmother Sarah Regina McCabe’s baptism certificate provides them with a name they haven’t heard in family lore: Sarah’s mother, Mary McEnnis. A search on Ancestry.com gives them their next clue: Mary with her parents, Michael and Eliza of St. Louis, in the 1850 U.S. Federal Census. Tory also uncovers a reference on the Missouri History Museum website to a memoir Michael McEnnis wrote about a devastating cholera epidemic in St. Louis in 1849.
Chris follows this exciting lead to St. Louis, where he reads Michael’s heartbreaking account. Michael explains how he had volunteered to fight in the Mexican-American War, but his family’s own tragic circumstances during the epidemic caused him to request a discharge to go home and “take charge.” Chris is amazed to see a photograph of his great-great-grandfather included with the account.
Curious about Michael’s service in the war, Chris heads to Washington, D.C., where he finds his ancestor’s muster rolls and learns that Michael went “absent on furlough” a few months after his enrollment. Intrigued, Chris searches Fold3.com and sees Michael’s actual discharge letter.
But there’s even more incredible proof of Michael’s service: his actual army sabre, donated to the Smithsonian, and an article from 1911 describing the family’s “fighting stock,” including a man named George McNeir, Chris’ 4x great-grandfather. George is mentioned as a 9th generation American who fought in the War of 1812 as a lieutenant in the Sea Fencibles at the bombardment of Fort McHenry.
This clue takes Chris to the National Archives and then to Maryland to learn more about George McNeir. In military documents, the 1810 census on Ancestry.com, court documents and a city directory, Chris finds another ancestor striking a balance between the duty to country and family.
After seeing his tailoring business suffer after the war started, George joined the local naval militia, the Sea Fencibles. By the fall of 1814, George’s pressing family needs led to his own request for a discharge — but only after he stood by a cannon at Fort McHenry during the Battle of Baltimore. There, on the morning of September 14, after enduring twenty-five hours of shelling, he would have seen the fort raise the huge flag that inspired Francis Scott Key to write the poem that became the “Star Spangled Banner.”
In his father’s father, Chris recognizes a trait he saw in his dad and that has guided his own life through the glitz of Hollywood and fame: family first.

New Hampshire Book of the Dead: Graveyard Legends and Lore
New Hampshire's historic graveyards, from Portsmouth to North Conway, have bizarre and eerie stories to offer their visitors. Graveyards often invoke fear and superstition among the living, but the dead who rest within them may have more to communicate to the world they left behind. The sands of Pine Grove Cemetery in Hampton once concealed the tombstone of Susanna Smith, but now its message--which reads simply "Slaine with thunder"--and her story have risen from beneath the soil. The Point of Graves Cemetery in Portsmouth is home to the spirit of Elizabeth Pierce, who beckons departing guests back to her grave. Along the state's southern border in Jaffrey, tombstones at Philips-Heil Cemetery caution the living to cherish life. Author Roxie Zwicker tours the Granite State's oldest burial grounds, exploring the stones, stories and folklore of these hallowed places...

West Virginia: A History
John Alexander Williams's West Virginia: A History is widely considered one of the finest books ever written about our state. In his clear, eminently readable style, Williams organizes the tangled strands of West Virginia's past around a few dramatic events-the battle of Point Pleasant, John Brown's insurrection in Harper's Ferry, the Paint Creek labor movement, the Hawk's Nest and Buffalo Creek disasters, and more. Williams uses these pivotal events as introductions to the larger issues of statehood, Civil War, unionism, and industrialization. Along the way, Williams conveys a true feel for the lives of common West Virginians, the personalities of the state's memorable characters, and the powerful influence of the land itself on its own history.

Deep Ancestry: Inside The Genographic Project
Science tells us we're all related—one vast family sharing a common ancestor who lived in Africa 60,000 years ago. But countless questions remain about our great journey from the birthplace of Homo sapiens to the ends of the Earth. How did we end up where we are? When did we get there? Why do we display such a wide range of colors and features? The fossil record offers some answers, but exciting new genetic research reveals many more, since our DNA carries a complete chronicle of our species and its migrations.
In Deep Ancestry, scientist and explorer Spencer Wells shows how tiny genetic changes add up over time into a fascinating story. Using scores of real-life examples, helpful analogies, and detailed diagrams and illustrations, he translates complicated concepts into accessible language and explains exactly how each and every individual's DNA contributes another piece to the jigsaw puzzle of human history. The book takes readers inside the Genographic Project, the landmark study now assembling the world's largest collection of population genetic DNA samples and employing the latest in testing technology and computer analysis to examine hundreds of thousands of genetic profiles from all over the globe.
Traveling backward through time from today's scattered billions to the handful of early humans who are ancestors to us all, Deep Ancestry shows how universal our human heritage really is. It combines sophisticated science with our compelling interest in family history and ethnic identity—and transcends humankind's shallow distinctions and superficial differences to touch the depths of our common origins.

Early Texas Settlers, 1700s-1800s (Genealogy Lookups)
Ranging from genealogical sketches to passenger lists and a history of the settlement of Texas, the eight books collected here are comprehensive in their coverage of early Texas. In all, approximately 94,000 early Texas settlers are referenced.Much of the importance of this collection stems from the fact that it covers a period of time before statehood and before federal record keeping was established. For example, although the first federal census was not taken in Texas until 1850, here you'll find a virtual census (recreated from poll lists) for 1846.
Books Included:
- Republic of Texas: Poll Lists For 1846
- Austin Colony Pioneers, Including History Of Bastrop, Fayette, Grimes, Montgomery And Washington Counties, Texas
